Settling into my new apartment and autumn

The leaves started to change, at first just a few...


I thought of putting my dresser in this corner, but the floor is really slanted. See how the bottom is against the wall, but the top is so far away from it? The right side of my bed is slightly higher than the left side, but it hasn't affected my sleep. The kitchen is wonky, too. The space between the cabinets and the ceiling is greater on one side of the kitchen than the other, by five inches.

Thanks so much, Cynthia, for the air mattress. It wasn't so bad sleeping on it all summer, but I'm really glad I have a bed now. And even though the bag of screws and such to put the bed together weighed about ten pounds (there are drawers underneath), I put it together all by myself. I didn't even need to call Sunshine or Susan, or either of my dads, for help.
Autumn is upon us.


These are just some of the turning leaves I see on my one-mile walk to work. I'm hoping to go leaf-peeping soon. To leaf-peep, you drive out into the country to see the turning leaves. There are even websites that indicate when the season is at its peak.

Congratulations on your job at Harvard! That is awesome. Your studio and the building it is in are both adorable. I can't believe how uneven your floors are! Can you put something under the furniture to make them more level? Thanks for sharing these photos with us,it makes it easier to imagine what you are experiencing out there. What a quaint place to live!
